Remember how HRC tried to pin Sandy Hook on Bernie

Remember how CC said the Clinton campaign was playing "softball" with Bernie like yesterday or something

Both campaigns were playing softball with each other compared to 2008.

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/164413430711/checking-my-six-month-prediction-did-it-age

I took the liberty of some minor edits

quote:

Six months ago this week, I tweeted this message:


As you might expect, pro-Trumper are saying the tweet did age well. They are saying this on the same week that their side protested a statue removal by driving cars on protesters

Okay, okay, I know what you are going to say. Those protestors[sic] do not represent all pro-Trump people. But I learned this past week that if you are marching with nazi-flagbearers, and making common cause with nazi-flagbearers, you’re just as bad as nazi-flagbearers. And if that logic doesn’t hold up, it would feel super-awkward for me to be on the team that says it does. But that’s just me.

Meanwhile, President Trump, a prominent pro-Trumper, spoke out today against violence. But he failed to name Antifa or White Supremacists by name, despite being prompted to do so by everyone in this interview, thus drawing a moral equivalence between Antifa and White Supremacists. And he later mentions any hate groups by name, we still have to wonder why it took so long. We learned last week from pro-Trumpers that this sort of moral equivalence, and the peculiar pause before a full disavowal, are deeply meaningful. If this logic doesn’t make sense to you, it might not feel super-awkward to be on the team that insists it does.

And what about the racist dog whistle that pro-Trumpers tell us only they and racists can hear? Is it not super-awkward that your best criticism involves hearing a secret message that only racists can detect?

Or what if your view is that President Trump accomplished nothing in his first six months? Would this extensive list of his accomplishments make you feel super-awkward?

Did you think that no progress in building the “wall” would be embarrassing for Trump supporters? Or did you see the New York Times confirm that progress is being made?

Perhaps you rejoiced this week about President Trump’s tweet on General Pershing’s handling of Islamic terrorists because he was so factually correct about the pig blood thing. But maybe you did know how accurate he was according to Pershing’s own words. That doesn't feel super-awkward to me, but maybe it sounds different to people who hear the secret racist beacon at the same time.

I will take pro-Trumpers at their word that they don’t feel awkward about any of this. I got that prediction totally right. I recently wrote a blog post explaining why pro-Trumpers don’t feel awkward. It involves something I call the Mass Hysteria Bubble.

I will take this opportunity to publicly eat some crow and agree that six months into this presidency, pro-Trumpers do NOT feel super-awkward. But according to Hillary Clinton, perhaps they should:


If the only thing you haven’t lost to the GOP already is free speech, you might want to hold onto that one.

Unless it feels super-awkward to do so.



To be fair, it was indeed a super-awkward week to be a Trump supporter of any kind. No debate on that. But that’s not what I tweeted about. I tweeted that the other side would feel super-awkward. I got that wrong.

Yeah, that's what it comes down to. He was doing that 'make sure progressive stuff gets talked about' thing that one person does in just about every Democratic primary and then suddenly he's the first runner-up and had to scramble to actually have a campaign.

Much as he's not my first choice (but my first choice almost certainly isn't running) I'm super curious to see what a serious-from-the-start Sanders For President campaign ends up looking like.

i want to see a serious-from-the-start sanders campaign too but by all the good gods do i wish there was even one non-poo poo national level leftist politician in a position to take up the gauntlet in his stead. he's just so old

Nobody goes into politics thinking "hmm, I think I'll just run for mayor and then stop. Wouldn't want to get in over my head".

She will make a big show of great reluctance and, oh fine if you all insist so very much...

That would make 2020 a lot less depressing. But again, despite years of media hype she's never gotten close to a run, and by all reports she seems to really like her job in the Senate.

The problem is that the wall street fluffers that run her party loving hate her, so if she had an actual serious shot she'd probably fold and move to the right and then get crushed in the nationals. And I mean she's not particularly tough on wall street to begin with, she just doesn't treat them with starry-eyed fawning adoration, which is enough to be considered a dangerous hard-left extremist these days.

She isn't an angry firebrand like Bernie, so she won't be able to fight and defend her position. If she could somehow remain undiluted, defend against ceaseless attacks from both parties and win the nationals then yeah I'd totally settle for her in the white house. Working people might be able to get a sop from the plutocrats, the system pressure might bleed off a bit and stave off a catastrophic rupture for another 4-8 years.
